WOOOOOW!!! that is an excellent question!!! For me it has one answer: It depends!!!! I fear rejection when it comes from somebody really important to me. So far I have learned to be happy and offer the best of me without expecting anythng coming back. So far it has gone so well that rejection is no longer an issue for me. In the past few years when so many jobs rejected me for one reason or the other it was not an issue regarding on my feelings. It was hurtfull for the sake of the problem it represented but it never hurted my feelings or my self esteem. In other scenarios, I have my life full of my loving family to feel afraid of rejection from anybody. I have meet people who live Failure is more an issue for me. I fear failure when I am not sure of what I am doing. Experience has brought me wisdom enough to take risks but always calculating my probatilities of success. So far I feel comfortable taking risks in a lot of scenarios in my life whith a high percentage of success. When it comes failure, I take it and learn from it. Wisdom comes from our failures. Excelent subjetc!!! Alex

Nice seein' you around these here parts, ma'am! Congrats on stopping the drinking- What an accomplishment!

I would say I have a fear of failure more than rejection. At other points in my life it may have been the other way around. Sometimes if "I think" I cannot do "it" perfectly, I just won't do it or I'll avoid it as long as possible.
